Vienna Peoples, 29, and her 14-year-old daughter Labria Miller were killed inside a home in the 3900 block of Miami Avenue in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood on the morning of June 2, 2026. Louisville Metro Police were called about 10:15 a.m. After officers arrived both victims were found with fatal injuries and pronounced dead at the scene. Police described the case as domestic in nature.

Family members said Peoples had been dating 24-year-old Tobias Malone, who was arrested shortly after the shooting. Court records and local reports say Malone admitted to shooting both victims after being read his Miranda rights and was charged with two counts of murder, domestic-violence related, plus a count of tampering with physical evidence. Reports state he told police he destroyed a victim’s cellphone and disposed of the gun, with at least one account saying he dismantled the weapon before discarding it. Family members said three younger children were inside the home during the attack; relatives later said Malone took those children to a YMCA Safe Place and allegedly told them to claim a home invasion, which they did not repeat.

Those who knew Peoples described her as a devoted mother of four, a University of Louisville pre-law student who volunteered and connected people with resources.
